One lucky fan has finally received a response from Paul McCartney, 60 years after she first professed her love to him.

In a video shared on TikTok and Instagram on Friday, May 3, The Beatles musician, 81, responded to a woman named Adrienne, who declared her love for him in a throwback video surrounded by fellow fans.

"Paul McCartney, if you are listening, Adrienne from Brooklyn loves you with all her heart," Adrienne says in the vintage clip while speaking into a microphone.

The video then cuts to a present-day McCartney, who says, "Hey, Adrienne. Listen, it's Paul. I saw your video. I'm in Brooklyn now. I'm in New York. I finally got here. We got an exhibition, a photo exhibition. Come along and see it."

The music icon was referencing "Paul McCartney Photographs 1963-64: Eyes of the Storm," an archival presentation that opened at the Brooklyn Museum on Friday, May 3, and will be available for viewing till Aug. 18.

According to the museum's website, the exhibition features more than 250 photographs captured by McCartney on his Pentax camera during the "frenzy of Beatlemania in 1963-64, when the band's first U.S. tour skyrocketed them to superstardom."

The caption pointed out the significance of the throwback clip: "60 years after The Beatles arrived in New York on their first trip to America, Paul's photographic record of 'Beatlemania' is now on display at @brooklynmuseum!" 

The museum also gave Adrienne another shoutout: "And Adrienne from Brooklyn, if you are listening, Paul McCartney from Liverpool loves you too ❤️."

In the comment section, however, fans couldn't help but quip about how long it took McCartney to answer.

One person wrote, "If she is still alive this will probably kill her of excitement." Another commented, "She's waited a long time, Paul 😆."

In April, McCartney opened up about a conversation he did manage to have with another fan —  Beyoncé.

The 42-year-old singer recorded her own version of The Beatles' 1968 classic "Blackbird" for her latest album, Cowboy Carter.

"I think Beyoncé has done a fab version and would urge anyone who has not heard it yet to check it out. You are going to love it," McCartney began in his lengthy social media post last month. The post featured a throwback image of him posing with Beyoncé and her cover art for Cowboy Carter.

"I spoke to her on FaceTime and she thanked me for writing it and letting her do it. I told her the pleasure was all mine and I thought she had done a killer version of the song," added McCartney in part.
